<Game system configuration>
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the game system 1. The configuration of the game system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The game system 1 includes a game server 100 and a terminal 200, and is communicably connected via a network NW. The network NW is composed of WAN (Wide Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network) and the like. Although only one terminal 200 is shown as a representative in FIG. 1, a plurality of terminals 200 may be provided.

The game server 100 distributes a game program (application) executed on the terminal 200 via the network NW, collects game play information (data related to game play), and accumulates and manages the play information. It functions as a server that serves as a hub for the game system 1. The game server 100 may provide a game function to the terminal 200 online.

The terminal 200 is, for example, an information processing terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet, or a game device, and executes a game-related process by executing a program (application) distributed from the game server 100 as described above. Further, the terminal 200 uploads the game play information to the game server 100. The terminal 200 may be configured to store the game program in advance.

The process related to the level-up effect according to the present embodiment can be used in various games in which the level indicating the strength and proficiency of the character in the game is raised based on the points such as the experience value given by the play. .. In the following, as an example of the present embodiment, while showing a game for training a character (hereinafter, it may be referred to as a “training game”), the production of leveling up the character, the processing content during the progress of the game, etc. explain.

<Level-up production example 1>
First, a level-up effect example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a screen example of a training game executed on the terminal 200. The character 20 (corresponding to the first object) nurtured by the player is shown on the screen 10 of the terminal 200. The current level of the character 20 is displayed in the level display area 30, and the points given to the character 20 in the game are displayed in the point display area 31. In addition, "point" includes the concept of "quantity" of points, and when the "quantity" of points is particularly described, it is described as "the number of points". In the example of FIG. 2, the level of the character 20 is "1", and the number of points given in the game is "15".

The point gauge 33 indicates the transition state of the points given from the current level of the character 20 to the next level. The point gauge 33 displays the number of points granted at the current level by the bar 34 in the gauge as a relative ratio to the number of points required to move from the current level to the next level. The bar 34 extends (continuously increases) in the variable range from the left end 36 (lower limit) to the right end 37 (upper limit) of the gauge in the direction of the arrow 35, so that the transition state of the points given at the current level is changed. Shown.

Although the character is shown as an example of the first object in FIG. 2, the character is not limited to this, and may be an item such as a weapon or a tool used in the game, a virtual building, or the like.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display example of a point transition state and a transition result. 3 (a) to 3 (c) show a display example of the point gauge 33 at level 1 of the character 20 shown in FIG. Further, FIG. 3D shows a display example of the point gauge 33 when the level is raised from level 1 to level 2. In the example of FIG. 3, the number of points required to level up from level 1 to level 2 will be described as "30".

The bar 34 of the point gauge 33 extends in the direction of the arrow 35 to indicate the transition state of the points given at the current level. FIG. 3A shows the point gauge 33 at the level “1” and the point “0”. Since the number of points is "0 (zero)", the bar 34 does not extend in the direction of the arrow 35 and overlaps the left end (lower limit) of the point gauge 33.

In the state of FIG. 3A, when the character 20 is given "15" points, the bar 34 extends to the center of the point gauge 33 (see FIG. 3B). Further, in the state of FIG. 3B, when "15" is given to the character 20, the bar 34 extends to the right end (upper limit) of the point gauge 33 (see FIG. 3C). That is, by giving points, the bar 34 does not change discretely as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (b) and 3 (b) to 3 (c), but the area occupied by the bar 34 is occupied. , The transition state of the points is produced by the mode (display) that continuously increases in the direction of the arrow 35.

When the bar 34 reaches the right end of the point gauge 33, the bar 34 is reset and displayed so as to overlap the left end of the point gauge 33 again (see FIG. 3D). That is, when the bar 34 reaches the upper limit of the point gauge 33, the level is raised as a result of the transition of points, and the bar 34 is reset. A sound effect may be output at the time of leveling up as an effect of the transition result of the points. Further, as an effect of the transition result, the vibrator may be vibrated or emitted by the vibrator built in the terminal 200 when the level is raised.

In FIG. 3D, the level of the character 20 is updated from level 1 to level 2, and the number of points "30" given so far is displayed as the points. Then, the transition state of the points from level 2 to level 3 is displayed in the same manner as described above. In this way, the bar 34 extends from the right end (lower limit) to the left end (upper limit) of the point gauge 33, and is reset each time the level is raised.

The point gauge used to produce the transition state of the points given from the current level of the first object to the next level is not limited to the rectangular bar described above. Another example is shown below.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display example of a point transition state. FIG. 4 is a display example showing the transition state of points by increasing the circle 41 in the point gauge 40, unlike the rectangular bar 34 shown in FIG.

The point gauge 40 displays the number of points given at the current level by the circle 41 in the gauge as a relative ratio to the number of points required to move from the current level to the next level. In FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c), similarly to FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (c), the circle 41 expands in the direction of the arrow 42 in a variable range from the center of the gauge to the circumference (continuous). (Increases to) indicates the transition state of the points given at the current level.

As mentioned above, the point gauge is not limited to rectangles and circles, but the number of points given at the current level such as fan shape, triangle, and human shape, and the number of points required to move from the current level to the next level. Anything that can display the relative ratio to the number of points is sufficient.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a speed for producing a transition state of points. 5 (a) to 5 (c) show the display of the point gauge 50 when the level of the character 20 is level 1, level 2, and level 3, respectively. The point bars 51, 52, and 53 have the same size (the width is the same from the left end to the right end of the bar), and in the example of FIG. 5, the points given at the current level are increased to the next level. It shows that it is half of the required points.

The point bars 51, 52, and 53 extend in the directions of arrows 54, 55, and 56, respectively, by giving points. Here, the lengths of the arrows 54, 55, 56 indicate the speed at which the point bars 51, 52, 53 extend to the right end of the gauge, and the length becomes shorter as the level goes up. That is, in the present embodiment, the speed at which the bar extends is changed according to the level of the character 20 (first object). In the example of FIG. 5, the speed at which the bar 51 at level 1 extends (v1), the speed at which the bar 52 at level 2 extends (v2), and the speed at which the bar 53 at level 3 extends (v3) are different. For example, each time the level is raised, the speed is multiplied by b / a (a and b are natural numbers and satisfy 0 <b / a <1), and the speed at which the bar grows is increased according to the level up of the character 20. It may be slowed down. (That is, the lower the level, the faster the bar grows.) Also, each time you level up, the speed is halved, etc., so that the player can feel the difference in the speed at which the bar grows. You may. Further, the speed of deceleration may be changed each time the level is increased. Further, the speed at which the level-up is produced may be constant between a certain continuous level, and may be slowed down between the next continuous levels than the speed of the effect at the previous continuous level. For example, between levels 1 to 3, the speed of the effect is v13, and between levels 4 to 6, the speed of the effect is v46, which is slower than v13.

The speed at which the bar grows at the same level is the same. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the speed at which the bar 34 extends from (a) to (c) showing the transition state of the point at level 1 is the same (v1).

Next, a process related to the level-up effect when a plurality of levels are raised by giving points in the present embodiment (hereinafter, may be referred to as “continuous level-up”) will be described. For example, the points required to level up a character from level 1 to level 2 are "P12", the points required to level up from level 2 to level 3 are "P23", and the points required to level up from level 3 to level 4 If the points required to level up are "P34" and the points required to level up from level 4 to level 5 are "P45", the current level is level 1 and the points granted are "P45". The case where the number of points "P" is given to the character of "0 (zero)" will be described as an example. However, it is assumed that P12, P23, P34, P45, and P are natural numbers and satisfy P> P12 + P23 + P34 + P45. Further, in order to increase the difficulty level of the game and enhance the entertainment as the level increases, it is preferable that the relationship is P12 <P23 <P34 <P45, but the relationship is not limited to this. The difficulty level of the game may be controlled by keeping the number of points for leveling up constant and changing the number of points given at each level.

In this case, the character continuously level up from level 1 to level 5 by four levels. In the present embodiment, as described above, even when a plurality of levels are raised (continuous level up) by giving points once, the effect of the transition state of points at each level is repeated until the level up is completed. FIG. 6 will be used to specifically explain the effect of continuously raising the level.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a process relating to a level-up effect when a plurality of levels are raised. In FIG. 6, by giving the above-mentioned point "P", the effect of leveling up from level 1 (Lv.1) to level 5 (Lv.5) is during the period from time t0 to t4 (however, t0 <t4). Will be done. During the period from time t0 to t1, the transition state of points at level 1 is produced (corresponding to FIGS. 3A to 3C), and at time t1, the level is raised from level 1 to level 2 as a result of point transition. The point gauge bar is reset (corresponding to FIG. 3D). In addition, a sound effect is output when the level is raised as an effect of the transition result of the points.

Similarly, the period from time t1 to t2 produces the transition state of the point at level 2 (corresponding to FIGS. 3A to 3C), and at time t2, the level 2 to level 3 as the point transition result. The up is performed and the bar of the point gauge is reset (corresponding to FIG. 3D). The same effect is performed for leveling up from level 3 to 4 and level 4 to 5.

Here, t0 to t4 are in a relationship that satisfies t1-t0 <t2-t1 <t3-t2 <t4-t3. This is because, as described in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the speed of the effect is reduced according to the level increase of the character. That is, as the level is raised, the speed at which the bar of the point gauge extends slows down, and the output interval of the sound effect when the level is raised becomes longer. For example, the speed at which the bar grows may be halved each time the level is raised, or the output interval of the sound effect may be doubled. It should be noted that the continuous level-up effect may be performed only by the effect of the transition state or the effect of the transition result.

By performing such a continuous level-up effect, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, as a level-up effect, the point gauge bar (transition state effect) that stretches vigorously is repeatedly shown to give the player an exhilarating feeling of continuous level-up, and the level-up sound effect (transition result effect). Is output at short intervals to give a feeling of exhilaration. In addition, the speed at which the bar of the point gauge extends slows down, and the output interval of the level-up sound effect becomes longer, so that the player can predict the end of continuous level-up.

<Level up production example 2>
Next, a level-up effect example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a screen example of a training game executed on the terminal 200. FIG. 7 is different from the screen example shown in FIG. 2, and the character 20 (corresponding to the first object) and the character 70 (corresponding to the second object) nurtured by the player are shown on the screen 10 of the terminal 200. There is. Here, the first object and the second object are different objects. For example, in the game, the second object (character 70) is the trainer of the first object (character 20), or the second object (character, etc.) is It may be the owner of the first object (item, etc.).

The generation display area 71 displays the number of generations of the character 20 (described later), the level display area 72 displays the current level and the upper limit of the level of the character 20 (described later), and the level display area 73 displays the current level of the character 70. There is. Further, as in the production example 1, in the production example 2, the transition state of the points given to the character 20 is shown by the bar 34 extending in the direction of the arrow in the point gauge 33.

In the production example 2, in addition to the processing in the production example 1, the following settings are made to the first object and the second object. That is, the upper limit of the level of the first object (character 20) is set according to the level of the second object (character 70). In the example of FIG. 7, the upper limit of the level is "5" as shown in the level display area 72. This indicates that the level can be increased up to "5".

When the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level, a new first object is created as the next generation of the first object. In the example of FIG. 7, as shown in the generation display area 71, the character 20 is the first generation, and when the level of the character 20 is raised to the level upper limit “5”, the next generation is the second generation. A new character 20 is generated. The new character 20 level up again from the level "1" (corresponding to the initial level) and the point "0 (zero)". The newly generated first object of the next generation may inherit at least one of the in-game items acquired by the first object of the previous generation, skills, individuality, attributes, virtual currency, and the like. As a result, the player can enjoy the fun of newly nurturing the first object while continuing to use the items and the like of the first object that have been nurtured so far in the game.

When the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level, the level of the second object is raised. Along with this, the level upper limit of the first object generated as the next generation is set higher than the level upper limit of the first object of the previous generation. In the example of FIG. 7, for example, as the level upper limit of the second generation character 20, "6", which is higher than the level upper limit "5" of the first generation character 20, is set. By raising the level of the second object and the upper limit of the level of the first object, even if the level of the first object is reset, the player can feel that the game is in progress.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the generation of the first object and the level of the second object. In FIG. 8A, the upper limit of the level is "5", the current level is "4", the number of points given so far is "500", the first generation first object, and the current level are. The second object of "1" is shown. When the number of points is "500" given to the first object shown in FIG. 8A, the bar 34 of the point gauge 33 advances in the direction of the arrow 80, and the bar 34 is the right end (upper limit) of the point gauge 33. (See FIG. 8 (b)). As a result, the level of the first object is raised from "4" to "5". Here, since the level "5" is the upper limit of the level of the first object, a new first object of the second generation, which is the next generation, is generated, and the bar 34 and the points are reset. Further, the second object is raised from the level "1" to "2" according to the level of the first object reaching the upper limit of the level.

Here, in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (c), the lengths of the arrows 80 and 81 represent the speed at which the bar 34 extends. As described above, the higher the level, the slower the production speed of the level up, so the speed at which the bar 34 at level 4 grows is higher than the speed at which the bar 34 grows at level 1 (the length of the arrow 81). (Length of arrow 80) is slower.

Further, each time the level of the second object is raised, the number of points required for leveling up the first object may be set to be small, or the number of points given to the first object may be increased. This makes it easier to level up the first object, which is repeatedly generated as a new generation, from the initial level, and makes it easier for continuous level ups to occur, which makes the player feel annoyed to level up from the initial level. You can give the fun of leveling up without letting it.

In this way, in the production example 2, the level upper limit is set for the first object, and when the level reaches the level upper limit, the first object of the next generation is generated and the level is reset to the initial level, while the second object Raise the level. Then, according to the level-up of the second object, the level-up from the initial level of the first object is facilitated, and the continuous level-up is likely to occur. As a result, the player can experience the level-up effect many times by repeatedly training the first object from the initial level, and can continuously give the exhilaration of the level-up. Also, although the level of the first object is set to the initial level each time the next generation is created, the level of the second object rises every time the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level, so that the player can play the game. You can feel that it is progressing.

<Functional block>
Next, a specific configuration for realizing a game in which the above-mentioned processing related to the level-up effect is performed will be described.

The processing unit 250 includes a game execution unit 251, a point giving unit 252, a level up unit 253, a level change effect unit 254, a setting unit 255, and a first object generation unit 256.

The game execution unit 251 executes a process related to the training game. For example, the process is executed based on the input from the player via the input unit 220. The game execution unit 251 may estimate the player's operation based on the sensing data detected by the sensor 222 of the input unit 220 and use it as an input for the game.

The point giving unit 252 gives points to the first object related to the training game. Specifically, points are given to the first object based on the result of the game processing executed by the game execution unit 251 according to the input of the player. For example, points may be given to the first object according to various events, benefits, and lottery that occur in the game. The point giving unit 252 stores the number of points given in the game information 241.

Further, the point giving unit 252 may change the number of points given to the first object according to the level of the second object. For example, as the level of the second object increases, the points given to the first object are increased. That is, as the game progresses, by increasing the number of points given to the first object, it is easy to level up the first object that is set to the initial level each time the level upper limit is reached, and continuous level up occurs. It can be made easier, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoyed when leveling up from the initial level.

The level-up unit 253 corresponds to the first level-up unit, and raises the level of the first object based on the points given. For example, the level-up unit 253 reads from the game information 241 the number of points required for level-up, the number of points given up to the present time, and the like, and determines whether or not to level up with the points given to the first object. to decide. When it is determined that the level up is necessary, the level of the first object is raised and updated, and stored in the game information 241. In addition, the points given up to the present time are updated based on the given points and stored in the game information 241. The timing of raising the level of the first object is not limited to the time when points are given as described above, and points may be accumulated and the level may be raised when a level-up operation is performed. Further, the points may be exchanged among a plurality of first objects, and the points of one first object may be transferred to the other first object to raise the level of the first object.

Further, the level-up unit 253 corresponds to the second level-up unit, and raises the level of the second object when the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level. For example, the level-up unit 253 determines whether or not the upper limit of the level has been reached when the level-up of the first object is performed as described above. When it is determined that the level upper limit has been reached, the level of the second object is raised.

Further, when the level-up unit 253 determines that the level of the first object has reached the upper limit of the level, the level-up unit 253 sets the level of the first object to the initial level and raises the level from the initial level. In addition, the level-up unit 253 also raises the level of a new (next generation) first object generated by the first object generation unit 256, which will be described later, from the initial level.

The level change effect unit 254 produces a transition state and / or a transition result of the given points from the current level of the first object to the next level. For example, the transition state of points is produced by continuously increasing the display showing the number of points given from the current level of the first object to the next level. In addition, the point transition result is produced by a sound effect indicating level up.

More specifically, the information about the point gauge is read from the effect information 242, and the point gauge is generated and displayed. Next, according to the point giving unit 252 giving points to the first object, from the game information 241 the current level of the first object, the number of points given at the current level, and the points required for leveling up. Read the number of. Further, the speed of the production at the current level is read from the production information 242. Then, as described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8, the speed of the effect is slowed down according to the level increase of the first object by the bar of the point gauge and the sound effect, and the level increase effect is performed.

As described above, the level change effect unit 254 slows down the effect speed according to the level increase of the first object. Therefore, for example, the effect speed for increasing the level by four from level 6 to level 10 is set. Although it is slower than the effect speed of leveling up by four from level 1 to level 5, the level change effect unit 254 may set the effect speed as follows. That is, the effect speed may be the same for the relative level changes of the plurality of levels from the level at the start of the level-up process. For example, in the case of leveling up by 4 levels from level 1 to level 5 and the case of leveling up by 4 levels from level 6 to level 10, the same number of levels is increased, and the production speed of leveling up is increased. It may be the same. By making the speed of continuous level-up the same, the player can repeatedly feel the speed of level-up, and the player can enjoy the fun of level-up many times.

Further, the level change effect unit 254 may make the level increase effect speed different depending on the level difference at the start of the level up process (corresponding to the start level) and the level upper limit when raising a plurality of levels. Good. For example, the effect speed for leveling up from level 1 to level 5 when the level upper limit is "100" is slowed down compared to the effect speed for leveling up from level 1 to level 5 when the level upper limit is "5". That is, the effect speed for leveling up from level 1 to level 5 when the level upper limit is "5" is made faster than the effect speed for leveling up from level 1 to level 5 when the level upper limit is "100". In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the level upper limit of the first object is set low at the start of the game, and the level upper limit becomes higher as the game progresses. For this reason, the level difference between the level at the start of the level-up process and the level up to the upper limit of the level is small. At the start of the game, the production speed is increased to make continuous level-up fun for players who are not yet accustomed to the game. By making them feel, they can make them interested in the game and improve their motivation to play.

The setting unit 255 corresponds to the level upper limit setting unit, and sets the level upper limit of the first object according to the level of the second object different from the first object. For example, as the level of the second object increases, the upper limit of the level of the first object is set higher.

Further, the setting unit 255 corresponds to the level-up condition setting unit, and sets the number of points required for level-up of the first object. For example, the setting unit 255 sets a small number of points required for leveling up the first object according to the leveling up of the second object. As a result, every time the second object level up (the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level), the level up of the first object set to the initial level is facilitated, and continuous level up is likely to occur. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling the hassle of leveling up from the initial level.

When the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level, the first object generation unit 256 generates a new first object as the next generation of the first object. That is, the training target of the player replaces the first object (of the next generation) generated from the first object of the previous generation. The first object created as the next generation may inherit at least one of the skills, items, attributes, personalities, etc. possessed by the first object of the previous generation. Every time the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level, the player repeatedly nurtures the next-generation first object set to the initial level, but the next-generation first object is combined with the previous-generation first object. By inheriting the same skills and the like, it is possible to train a new (next generation) first object without letting the player lose the attachment to the (previous generation) first object that has been trained so far.

<Processing flow>
Next, the flow of processing according to this embodiment will be described. The processing described here is realized by the processing unit 250 executing the game program stored in the storage unit 240.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the terminal 200. An example of processing in the terminal 200 will be described with reference to FIG. The terminal 200 may use a timing set according to the progress of the game or a timing input from the player as a trigger to start the process. Further, the player can end the process at an arbitrary timing by inputting the terminal 200 to end the game.

When the player plays the game for the first time, as an initial setting, a level "1" (initial level) is set for the first object and the second object, and a level upper limit of the first object is set according to the level of the second object. Will be done.

In step S101, the game execution unit 251 advances the game for nurturing the first object based on the input of the player via the input unit 220 and the like.

In step S102, the point giving unit 252 gives points to the first object based on the result of the game processing executed by the game executing unit 251 in step S101.

In step S103, the level-up unit 253 determines whether or not the first object will level up based on the points given in step S102. For example, from the game information 241 the current level of the first object, the number of points required to move up from that level to the next level, the number of points given up to the present time, etc. are read, and the points given in step S102 are read. Judge whether to level up or not.

When the level-up unit 253 determines that the first object does not level up (N in step S103), in step S104, the level change effect unit 254 produces a point transition state effect. For example, the level change effect unit 254 reads information on the speed of the effect corresponding to the current level from the effect information 242, and extends the bar of the point gauge according to the current level (FIGS. 3 (a), 3 (a), b) Refer to) to produce a point transition state.

On the other hand, when the level-up unit 253 determines that the first object is level-up (Y in step S103), in step S105, the level change effect unit 254 produces the transition state of the points and the transition result. For example, the level change effect unit 254 reads information on the speed of the effect corresponding to the current level from the effect information 242, and extends the bar of the point gauge according to the current level (FIGS. 3 (a), 3 (a), b) Refer to) to produce a point transition state. Furthermore, when the bar extends to the right end of the point gauge (see Fig. 3 (c)), a sound effect is output to produce the point transition result, and the bar extending to the right end of the point gauge is reset (Fig. 3 (Fig. 3). d) See).

Further, in step S103, when it is determined that the level of the first object is increased by a plurality of levels (continuous level increase), the speed at which the bar of the point gauge is extended is decelerated each time the level is increased, as shown in FIG. In addition, the output interval of the level-up sound effect is lengthened.

In step S106, the level-up unit 253 determines whether the level after the level-up of the first object is the upper limit of the level of the first object. If it is determined that the level is not the upper limit (N in step S106), the process returns to step S101. On the other hand, when it is determined that the level is the upper limit (Y in step S106), the level-up unit 253 raises the level of the second object in step S107.

In step S108, the first object generation unit 256 generates the first object of the next generation. That is, the training target of the player replaces the first object (of the next generation) generated from the first object of the previous generation. The level of the newly generated first object is set to "1" (initial level).

In step S109, the setting unit 255 sets the level upper limit of the first object. For example, set it higher than the level upper limit of the previous generation. For example, set it "1" higher than the level upper limit of the previous generation. Then, the process returns to step S101.

In addition, according to the level-up of the second object, the setting unit 255 sets the level-up condition so as to reduce the number of points required for the level-up of the first object, and the point giving unit 252 gives the first object. You may try to increase the points to do. This makes it easier to level up, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoyed about raising the level of the first object from the initial level. Further, by making it easy for the continuous level-up to occur, the player can feel the uplifting feeling of the level-up.

As described above, the game processing is executed on the terminal 200.

(Explanation of effect)
As described above, in the present embodiment, the transition state of the given points and / or the speed at which the transition result is produced are changed according to the level of the first object. By performing such a level-up effect, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, as a continuous level-up effect, the lower the level, the more vigorously the point gauge bar (transition state effect) is shown repeatedly to make the player feel the exhilaration of the level-up, and the level-up sound effect. By outputting (the effect of the transition result) at short intervals, you can feel an uplifting feeling. In addition, the speed at which the bar of the point gauge extends slows down, and the output interval of the level-up sound effect becomes longer, so that the player can predict the end of continuous level-up.

Further, in the present embodiment, a level upper limit is set for the first object, and when the level reaches the level upper limit, the first object of the next generation is generated and the level is reset to the initial level, while the level of the second object is set. Make it up. Then, according to the level-up of the second object, the level-up from the initial level of the first object is facilitated, and the continuous level-up is likely to occur. As a result, the player can experience the level-up effect many times by repeatedly training the first object from the initial level, and can continuously give the exhilaration of the level-up. Also, although the level of the first object is set to the initial level each time the next generation is created, the level of the second object rises every time the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level, so that the player can play the game. You can feel that it is progressing.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level, a new first object is generated as the next generation of the first object, and the first object generated as the next generation is before the first object. Inherit at least one of the skills, items, attributes, personalities, etc. possessed by the first object of the generation of. Every time the level of the first object reaches the upper limit of the level, the player repeatedly nurtures the next-generation first object set to the initial level, but the next-generation first object is combined with the previous-generation first object. By inheriting the same skills and the like, it is possible to train a new (next generation) first object without letting the player lose the attachment to the (previous generation) first object that has been trained so far.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to keep the player motivated for the game by performing an effect that makes leveling up fun.
